The “Menopause Revolution” has Begun, thanks to Powerful Women—and Elephant is Here for It.

We are joyful and celebrating over here at Elephant—Melinda French Gates has just committed $215 million (more) to women’s health, with a heavy focus on the “Menopause Revolution” to combat systemic neglect in midlife care. This major investment brings her total dedicated funding to women’s health to a heroic $600+ million.

Through the years, Elephant has been a stalwart supporter of midlife health for women. Our take? It’s a rocky flight throughout womanhoodtraveling through life in a female body can feel a bit like being the captain of a wonky spaceship—“Ummm, is that warning light supposed to be on?”

But it’s a glorious thing to be a woman, even if it’s a little bit of a bumpy ride with haywire hormones, bladder blunders, period and peri/menopause plights, and just all the things. Let’s drop the embarrassment and stigma already. Let’s dive into mindful solutions and open conversations, instead.

We are here for all of it 100% to support women and all the brands we love—who are dedicated to being of benefit to women, especially those going through “the change.” We work with and support companies that make it their mission to help encourage and assure women that there is nothing taboo about any of this. Here are a few of our favorites:

We love Womaness.

“Vaginal dryness is the #1 concern we hear from women.”

And it doesn’t have to be that way. Meet Womeness’ newest solution for vaginal dryness: Melt For You hyaluronic acid inserts that deliver long-lasting hydration from within. Melt For You…because it’s an inside job.
